Brown Elementary Update
Greetings Brown Families and Caregivers,
What a year it has been! To honor all the growth and learning our students have accomplished, we have planned several wonderful celebrations for June. Our entire school community will gather for Field Day on June 5th, a day filled with friendly competition, teamwork, and plenty of fun. We're also excited to showcase the unique talents of our students with Grade 2's Poetry Slam, where young writers will share their creative work. Our Grade 3 students will explore nature and environmental learning through a special Pollinator Party, and our Grade 4 students will participate in Step Up Events designed to celebrate their years at Brown and prepare them for the transition to Kennedy Middle School. We hope you'll join us for these special occasions! Information about Field Day is included below. For information about grade level events, please be on the lookout for updates from your child's teacher.
End-of-Year Progress Reports
As the school year concludes, we want to ensure families have clear insight into their child's academic progress. We will be sharing end-of-year student progress information through two important reports.
Your student's Report on Student Progress (ROSP) will be accessible via PowerSchool beginning June 23rd at 3:00 PM. Please plan to print or save this report, as access will close on July 15th. We encourage families to retain this documentation, as many youth sports programs—including football and cheerleading—require this information for program participation and enrollment.
Additionally, Renaissance end-of-year assessment reports will be mailed to your home at the end of June. These reports provide valuable data about your student's academic growth and achievement throughout the year.
If you have any questions about these events or reports, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for a wonderful year of partnership!
Warm regards,
Dr. Johanna Even

Some activities will include water so please remind your child to wear comfortable running shoes and clothing that may get wet and are appropriate for outdoor physical activity. Here you will find a recommended list of items to have your child bring with them for field day:

If you would like, PARENT HELP IS NEEDED. Volunteers will help run the events and help manage classes. Please fill out the signup genius form as soon as possible. Please know that to keep in compliance with all policies and procedures of Natick, the following items are required by the town and state:

Spring has arrived and with the warmer weather here, we wanted to send a few reminders:
Please send a refillable water bottle with your child every day to help them stay hydrated.
Keep a change of extra clothing in their bags and make sure it is seasonally appropriate as the weather changes.
If your child requires sunscreen or insect repellant, this should be applied at home..For safety reasons, students may NOT carry any prescription or over-the-counter medication in school per MA law 105 CMR 210.00 and per Natick Public Schools (NPS) policy. If you have any questions about this, please contact the nurse.
Attention 3rd Grade Parents:
Have you submitted a recent physical exam to the nurse?
If you have not already done so, please send the most recent copy of your child’s “school and camp form” to the nurse at BrownNurse@natickps.org or your child’s physician can also fax a copy directly to 508-647-6669. Thank you!
